The ROD OF GOD FAMILY CHURCH INTERNATIONAL BIBLE INSTITUTE is a 120 hours course. Over this period you will receive four (4) certificates. All four (4) certificates are legally notarized and federally recognized, that you may use them in any endeavor of ministry that the Lord has called you into. (Let it be understood that the four (4) certificates are given as a part of your study and training commitment).

These certificates do not commit you nor do they ordain you for ministry. Your true commitment and ordination for ministry comes from the Lord. These certificates are given out because you, as a student of the ROD OF GOD FAMILY CHURCH INTERNATIONAL BIBLE INSTITUTE, have successfully completed the required class time of consecrated and dedicated study of the Word of God.

These certificates may be used in relationship with any endeavor of ministry that God would call you into. This institute is designed to help you study the Word of God that you may be a workman that needed not to be ashamed rightly dividing the truth. (II Timothy 2:15) That we may be perfect thoroughly furnished unto all good works. (II Timothy 3:17).

The Rod of God Bible Institute strongly encourages each student to fast on class days with the Ministry during its weekly proclaimed day of fasting and prayer. Fasting intensifies retention and understanding of God's revelation for one's overall life. All segments of the class schedules are mandatory with the exception of the 8:30 — 9:40 Fasting & Prayer Service, but students are encouraged to attend.

ATTENDANCE: 
Classes are scheduled each week. Each class period receives one credit hour. There is a 15-minute tardy period. Although you are tardy, you may still sign the attendance sheet during this period and receive a credit hour for that particular class; unless you have an acceptable excuse and have had a personal conference with Bishop Allen, our chief instructor. Therefore, each student should commit him/herself to be on time. Only THREE unexcused absences will be allowed per semester.

STUDENT INFORMATION:
When a person enrolls in the Institute, there is a record of his or her hours kept. Files, with tests, records of certificates, etc., are kept on each student.
